Theme Example

Hi, there are tutorials for building and customizing lightbox themes in SLB’s Themes documentation.

do you have a theme example that has more configuration in it than the sample theme does?

What kind of configuration are you referring to?

Hi, just following up to see if you had any more details on configuration examples you’re looking for?

Hi there, apologies for the delay. What i’ve been trying to figure out how to do using a theme is change the layout and look/feel of the page. Basically how to specify values for color, font, image description etc… that override the parent theme.

The provided sample theme is pretty empty, if it had some more configuration that was part of it it might be much easier to figure out how it works. Do you have a “sample” theme that has a different look and feel to it from the included theme, or that builds on the parent theme?

Granted i’m not good with wordpress and am trying to figure this out as i go. SCSS is another thing that i’m learning about so adding that as a variable here causes some confusion for me as well i think.

Overriding the parent theme depends on the parent theme you’re overriding. The starter theme overrides SLB’s underlying baseline theme, so there are no styles to override (which is why the sample theme’s styles are empty).

However, the tutorials on customizing a theme’s layout and CSS styles in SLB’s themes documentation (see previous reply) provide full details on all of SLB’s built-in template tags for use in layouts and CSS selectors for styling. Following the tutorials in the order they are listed is highly recommended as they take you step-by-step from an empty starter theme, to customizing the layout, and finally styling the lightbox with Sass/CSS.

SLB’s included themes are also child themes of the baseline theme (just like the starter theme), so it may be useful to take a look at their code to see how their appearance is controlled via CSS.
